Fair.

Zephyr walked ahead of his followers down the bridge. The sun baking them and a small dot some distance ahead waiting for them on the bridge.

Udo saw the group up ahead and sensed their motivations as they slowly approached, they were definitely mixed.

He searched his own motivations too, what would the outcome to all this be? He knew he couldn’t be there at the final decision, he mustn’t be there, he had done too much damage already.

He allowed himself a decision to meddle just once more.

–

As Zephyr came close enough to the figure to see it was a very old man, and a Warrior too, him and his men fell to the ground having suddenly lost all sense of orientation.

The men struggled to climb up again but they simply couldn’t tell which way was up anymore.

Zephyr though, fought his instinct and moved on what he could see alone and managed (with great difficulty) to stand up ignoring his sense of balance.

He aimed a gun roughly at the old man Udo. “You’re the cause of this.”

“Shoot me and the effects will remain.”

Zephyr thought about it for a moment and believed the old man. “Ok.” he lowered his gun.

“I want it to be just you t go to her, it isn’t fair if its all these men plus you against the one girl.”

“Fair? The only outcome to a fair fight is both sides lose, and die.”

“I am hoping for another outcome.”

Zephyr slowly made his way past Udo and further down the bridge, he gradually got back his sense of balance the further he went.

“I just hope this is ok.” Udo closed his eyes before zephyr’s bullet passed between them.

The glow passed from the corpse before zephyr’s squirming followers and along the bridge to zephyr, who continued towards the arena, leaving his followers behind.
